Nominations Now Open for Student Employee of the Year

Last year's Student Employee of the Year nominees

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 1, 2017) — One key part of the University of Kentucky’s mission is to prepare students to succeed once they leave our campus. In addition to the education they receive inside the classroom, many students also gain valuable experience in the workforce as UK student employees.

If you have an outstanding student employee working in your area, please consider nominating them for Student Employee of the Year.

Nominations are open now through March 17. In order to be considered, students must:

  • Currently be work-study or hourly student employees at UK.
  • Have completed or expect to complete at least six months of part-time or three months of full-time employment before April 2017.
  • Be in a UK undergraduate degree program and enrolled at least half time for both the fall 2016 and spring 2017 semesters.
  • Not be employees of UK Human Resources (HR) Student Employment.
